Chapter 982

Blizzard Entertainment headquarters, Irvine.

"Hi, Mike, we meet again!" Lin Feng is sitting leisurely in Mike mowami's office with a smile on his face.

Mike - Mo Huai Mi Leng Leng looking at Lin Feng, a face surprised. He didn't expect that in just a few days, Lin Feng took bill Roper and others, who left Blizzard studio in the north three months ago, to his net account. This really surprised him. And Lin Feng immediately rushed to Blizzard Entertainment headquarters after Bill Roper and others on the Internet, whose intention is self-evident.

"What do you want, Mr. Lin?" Mike mowumi said with a headache.

Lin Feng smiles.

"Very simple, I want to finance Blizzard!" Lin Feng said very easily.

Mike mowami had a bitter look on his face. Here comes Lin Feng again!

"Mr. Lin, Blizzard now belongs to Vivendi company of France. If you want to finance or acquire Blizzard Entertainment, you can talk to Vivendi company directly. I'm just a worker!" Mike mowumi knows what Lin Feng is up to. Lin Feng hopes to persuade himself and others first, and then use them to put pressure on Vivendi. Then Lin Feng can buy Blizzard Entertainment at a low price. Mike mowami would never do such a thing. It's immoral!

"Mike, what I value is not Blizzard Entertainment, but you talents! What I need is not blizzard, but you who can produce the best game talents in the industry Lin Feng said very seriously. If Blizzard can be fully acquired, Lin Feng will not really want a few money to let Mike - Mo waimi do infidelity.

Although Mike mowami was a little moved by Lin Feng's words, he was able to be recognized that his value was more important than that of the company. Whether it was flattery or not, it was very comfortable to hear it. But it's not enough to impress Mike mowami.

"Mike, you should know that I have authorized Oracle to use cloud computing. According to Ellison, President of Oracle, cloud computing will help their company increase its business volume by 150% and reduce its server load by more than 60%. Mike, don't you want world of Warcraft to have "cloud computing" Lin Feng said.

Mike - Mo waimi is unexpectedly Lin Feng shakes his head.

"Lin," cloud computing "for an online game, is a software with tremendous changes. It can make communication easier and more players run in the same game. However, the current world of Warcraft has been developed. It's easy to add "cloud computing", but if you want to accommodate more players, you need to have a bigger map. All the scenes in the game need to be remade. Of course, the most important thing is that the related tasks need to be reviewed, and all the settings in the game need to be modified, The amount of work involved is too much! " Mike mowuami shakes his head and politely refuses Lin Feng's temptation.

Lin Feng a Leng, did not think that "cloud computing" can not lure to Mike - Mo waimi. But does Mike mowami really have no desire for "cloud computing"?

"Mike, I've always heard the words" Blizzard's products must be high-quality. "Doesn't Blizzard want world of Warcraft to be better?" Lin Feng looks at Mike mowami to see what he really thinks in his eyes.

Sure enough!

Mike mowami is not Ellison, not Paul Allen. He can't completely hide his inner thoughts. Lin Feng saw his desire for "cloud computing" from the flicker and heat in his eyes. Of course, if "world of Warcraft" really wants to add "cloud computing", then its modification is really large.

The existing world of Warcraft map is big enough, but if the player capacity is 10 times more, is the current map big enough? Once the map is expanded, it will take at least ten minutes for players to go from one place to another. Can players tolerate the long walking time? In addition, although the 3D engine of world of Warcraft was jointly developed by "blizzard" and "second world" and is specially developed for online 3D games, its requirements for computers are quite low, but its requirements are still the most demanding games among online games, surpassing the mainstream configuration of most players.

For rich players, updating a graphics card and upgrading the CPU is nothing, but for most ordinary players, this is not good news. Especially for the players in most third world countries, computers are still high-end goods nowadays. The price of 4-5000 yuan (RMB) does not mean that you can take them out. What's more, upgrading is even more remote!

In the case that the game itself may be more difficult, if we expand the number of online games, I'm afraid it will be a game beyond the times. Unless Lin Feng takes out the "dynamic neglect and compensation technology" of the "second world", it can solve the problem of insufficient performance of players' computers to a certain extent. However, according to Bruce Allen's analysis, even with all the current technologies of "second world", the highest number of online people in world of Warcraft can't exceed 20000 for the time being.

The screen of this game has surpassed all the current online games, and the requirements for computer performance naturally exceed all online games“ "Cloud computing" is not omnipotent, it is just a tool, is a tool has its limits.

It can be said that "cloud computing" is not helpful enough for the current world of Warcraft. But as Bill Roper said after hearing about Lin Feng's plan for world of Warcraft - even if "cloud computing" can't make tens of thousands of people play online games in world of Warcraft, even if it's just a little more, the fun of the game will increase exponentially. 5000 people online and 10000 people online are totally different concepts. Without changing the game architecture, just using software can make the number of people on a server exceed ten thousand. The significance of this is completely different.

Bill Roper could see the meaning, and Mike mowami could see it.

The question is, what did Mike mowumi and the administrators of Blizzard Entertainment think!

What's Mike mowami thinking? In fact, what Mike mowami thinks is very simple, that is Blizzard's autonomy. Although Blizzard now belongs to Vivendi of France, when the two sides signed the acquisition agreement, blizzard had absolute independent autonomy, and could freely decide its game development time under the permission of its financial situation. If it is acquired by Lin Feng, judging from Lin Feng's control over the "second world", I'm afraid Blizzard will no longer have such absolute independent autonomy, which is what Mike mowami is most worried about.

Of course, there is a little ambition in Mike mowami's heart. At present, "second world" is one of the best game companies in the industry, especially in the online game industry. Mike mowumi hopes Blizzard can change this situation, so that the online game industry is no longer the "second world" alone.

But if Lin Feng buys blizzard, everything will be gone.

"Mr. Lin, I can only say that if you want to finance blizzard, you can talk to Vivendi. We are just wage earners. Our responsibility is to develop the best games. That's our purpose. We don't care about the rest." Mike mowuami thought about it and refused the olive branch thrown by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng frowned. This is not the answer Lin Feng wants. After thinking about it, Lin Feng decided to open the window and speak up.

"Mike, what are you going to do if I buy Blizzard?" Lin Fengjing said.

Mike - Mo Huaimi a Leng, he didn't expect Lin Feng will be so direct, this let him a little don't know what to do. Lin Feng directly asked him, he really did not know how to answer. If you want to refuse, it means that he wants to leave blizzard, but he really can't bear blizzard. It's not that he is greedy for the position of Blizzard president, but that Mike mowemi really likes Blizzard's game atmosphere and the series of games like Warcraft developed by him and a group of employees. These games are like their children, and he really can't bear to give up. And if "world of Warcraft" gets Lin Feng's "cloud computing", not to say how many million people are connected, it can at least enhance the gameplay of "world of Warcraft".

Even if it's just 10000 people online, it's good.

But if you agree, Mike mowumi's heart will not get through. It's not that Mike mowumi is hypocritical, but it's human nature. After all, if someone suddenly comes to me and asks if I'm going to buy your company and you're willing to continue working for me, it's hard for anyone to think about it. How can they agree immediately.

In a word, Lin Feng's problem of not beating around the Bush really hurt Mike mowumi. It can only be said that Lin Feng is a bit of a rogue. People just politely declined, and you asked directly. It's more thorough. Isn't it fatal! But Lin Feng, the "rogue" has the strength to play a rogue. In short, Mike mowuami is very entangled.

At this time, the former president of Blizzard Entertainment Company, now Blizzard special advisor Alan adehan came in.

"Mr. Lin, can I ask you a question first?" Alan adehan asked.

Lin Feng nodded. This Alan adehan is also one of Lin Feng's main targets. He is one of the founders of Blizzard Entertainment company. He has been the president of Blizzard Entertainment company before, but later, in order to concentrate more on the development of games, he took the initiative to resign, and Mike mowami took over as the president of Blizzard Entertainment company. Although Alan adehan is no longer the president of Blizzard Entertainment, he still has great authority within Blizzard Entertainment, which is enough to change the decision of the board of directors.

Before Lin Feng has been trying to contact Allen - adehan, but has been refused by the excuse that he is no longer the president of Blizzard Entertainment company. Unexpectedly, I finally met the legend of Blizzard Entertainment company today.

"Excuse me, Mr. Adhan!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, you should know that Blizzard's idea is that" Blizzard products must be high-quality products ". Therefore, we people often shelve the listing date of a game because it is not perfect. Even if it is about to go on the market, if we think it is not perfect, we will shelve it and will not let it go on the market. Excuse me, can you accept it? " Alan adehan asked.

This is Blizzard's consistent style of doing things, which is why Blizzard has the title of "ticket skipping king". The games that Blizzard announced for sale are often suspended indefinitely due to the dissatisfaction of developers, which makes players disappointed again and again. Although this kind of work style can ensure that the game must be a boutique, it has great financial pressure on the company. This repeated vote skipping is extremely disappointing for the players, and it is also a big blow to the financial pressure of the company.

For a game company, no matter whether you have a game on sale or not, as long as you are still in operation for one day, then the salary of employees, all kinds of taxes and miscellaneous fees are indispensable. If the game is delayed for one more day, it will be a day's money. This is unacceptable for companies that focus on interests.

"OK, no problem!" Lin Feng smiles.

Maybe it's hard for other game companies to accept Blizzard's style of doing things. After all, it's money, and more importantly, your game may not be popular with players. Of course, at least as far as Blizzard's past achievements are concerned, this kind of thing has not happened. Blizzard's products must be high-quality products. Of course, there is no exception. For example, Blizzard wants to develop "StarCraft: Ghost" (the first person shooting game) which has been developed for two years, but there is no result so far, because Blizzard itself is not good at making this kind of game. As a result, this game with tens of millions of dollars of investment may be permanently stranded.

That's why Alan adehan is out at the moment. Because of the development of "StarCraft: Ghost", the investor, Vivendi of France, has put pressure on Blizzard to put it on the market as soon as possible. In terms of Blizzard's reputation, the sales volume is absolutely not bad. What's more, this game is not good in effect, but it is novel and unique in other places. It's not inferior to any other first person shooting games. It happens that Vivendi company is in financial crisis, so we can use this game to ease the tense financial situation.

What's more, when Vivendi hears the news, he will go crazy about the game that has invested tens of millions of dollars. Therefore, it strongly requests Blizzard to launch "StarCraft: Ghost" as soon as possible, but it is strongly rejected by Allen adehan. This "StarCraft: Ghost" looks ok, but it's too bad for him to keep improving. Can't go on the market at all, otherwise be smashed Blizzard this gold lettered signboard.

And with Blizzard consistent perfect attitude, this kind of game cannot appear on the market naturally. Although its investment has reached tens of millions of dollars, but reluctantly launched will only smash Blizzard's gold lettered signboard. What's more, Allen adehan believes that Blizzard's other games can also earn back its losses（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
